I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied to work at IBM Watson. The first round was a one way online interview you complete within a 3 week time frame of receiving the invite link. There's some questions where you record your answers on video and a few coding questions; all with a time limit. The video questions weren't hard in themselves, but talking into the webcam was awkward. I would have preferred an in person interview. For the coding questions, I thought the 1st one was easy and the other 2 were medium/hard in difficulty. They seemed too difficult for an entry level job and for the time limit given to solve them. I felt like the problems didn't let me showcase my actual programming and problem solving skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I'm not at liberty to give specifics, but if you're really good with regex and string manipulation, you have a decent chance.
Technical tests on top of technical tests without ever hearing from an actual person, and receiving your rejection email 4 months later from an AI agent using a prewritten script.
This was the first virtual interview I had, and the interviewer didn't ask me any questions instead he asked me to give an impromptu presentation on a project that I worked on. For the first interview it would have been nice to get a heads-up to create a presentation or be prepared to start coding a project in front of someone.

Question 1
Open a text editor and start going through and coding a project you worked on.
The first round was a behavioral interview where they asked about my background, my hobbies, and my early career plans. They asked about a project listed in one of my work experiences, but the project was related to the work of the role.
